    Default College is remade as tech majors surge and humanities dwindle

    The number of students nationwide seeking four-year degrees in computer and information sciences and related fields shot up 34 percent from 2017 to 2022, to about 573,000, according to the National Student Clearinghouse Research Center. The English-major head count fell 23 percent in that time, to about 113,000. History fell 12 percent, to about 77,000.

    This is good. Schools should teach STEM only. No entertainment courses such as art and music and literature and athletics.
    Reckless drivers are a bigger threat to you than all other criminals put together!

    They are doing what a degree should do. Provide you with the skills for a real paying job. Not gender studies. You fucking idiot.

    I ended up with a history degree but only because during my political science degree all my electives counted towards it so it was only a few more classes to get that also

    The WOKE Suicide Cult now going after STEM will solve this. Jordan Peterson says that there is no chance that the cult will not be successful.
    This illegal illegitimate regime that runs America is at fault...not me.... they do not represent me and I have long objected to their crimes against humanity.

    Colleges shouldn't be trade schools. On the other hand, maybe 20% of people really should be going to college and getting a degree. Another 30 to 40% should be going to a real trade school and getting trained in a skilled trade. The rest can go to some useless "trade" college where they learn such marginal and useless skills as taking blood samples, being pet groomers, or the finer points of bartending like AOC...
